slu72 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I think if a player enters the portal and is not offered, he’s on his own or up to the school he left if they want him back. I don’t think the school is required to take him back. Bottom line; player is at risk. Seems fair to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 If Tyler Coleman is saying there's news, I would think it's a local kid. Bradford, Keita, Jones all come to mind. Keita is intriguing as a long-term option if healthy. Bradford and Okoro would both want to start. I never really "got" Jones when I've seen him but I'm willing to be wrong. I doubt it's Kasubke. Shaun Williams is leaving CSU-Bakersfield. He's a local kid who's more of a 2 but could play a backup role at the PG position. Didn't put up big numbers and only played 10 games this season, but was better out there last year. Started his career at K-State. Grad transfer with 2 to play. I'm not counting on Ramey or Yuri. gabriel likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised we have not heard that Xavier Pinson has us back in his list. I figured that would be the person to jump at this quickly.

Pinson appeared to be down to Xavier and Mississippi State but could be reconsidering. Mizzou fans have warned me that he's an incredibly frustrating player. Numbers show major inefficiency. He's also a guy who seems to compound the situation when things aren't going well. Not sure he's a fit given the vibes around our program at the moment. Talented enough to thrive in this league for sure, though, and he's a guy we recruited out of HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this is who TC is talking about, but Grad Transfer Eric Hunter Jr. is being followed by our coaching staff on social media. 6pts/2ast and Big10 All Defense last season. Would be nice to add a lock down perimeter defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be the greatest shooter with our other players in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I feel like we need Ford to find a point guard out of thin air. Some Aussie or something. It seems like our obsession with local area players is a little out of control. Now we think Ford will think about a CSU-Bakersfield castoff with off the court issues? Cmon now. we need a commitment from a player that surprises everyone. This ship needs to be repaired fast. slufan13, Bizziken and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Finding a good replacement pg is going to be tougher than some think. I am not saying Ford can't do it but just thinking we have playing time available just may not be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others disagree but I'm of the opinion that a Deandre Jones player would suffice considering the rest of the talent on the roster. We need someone better but a player like that could still get us to the NCAA. If Fodd can land Jones when Yuri was still on the roster, I'm confident he can do it again. But I do agree with you that getting a player even a small notch below Yuri is going to be tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
